Actually no, unfortunately I can't speak a word of Spanish language, I'm used to Croatian  :
K = Kralj (king)
D = Dama (queen)
S = Skakac (knight)
L = Lovac (bishop)
T = Top (rook)
P = Pjesak (pawn)
These sometimes mix in my head with english.. 
Hmm, look, I do know a word in Spanish: Dama

Now in hebrew:)
פיון = pawn-(pion)
פרש = knight-(parash)
רץ = bishop-(rac)
צריח = rook-(cariah)
מלכה = queen-(malka)
מלך = king-(meleh)

One very interesting thing about these names is, I think, the actual meaning, in plain language of Bishop:
* Spanish: Bishop=Alfil. Alfil is only used in chess (no other usual meaning in Spanish, but there is a militar graduation, Alferez, which comes from the same old word than Alfil, i.e., Alferza, if I remeber well).
* English: Bishop. A religious dignity (Obispo in Spanish), I think.
* French: Fou. I think is mad in English. A typical expression in French is "Tu es fou", ..you are mad.
What is the meaning of "Bishop" (chess piece) in croatian, italian, hebrew, please?
In other languages?
Thanks.

In Portuguese is "bispo" (=bishop).
R=rei (king)
D=dama (queen)
B=bispo (bishop)
C=cavalo (knight)
T=torre (rook)
P=peão (pawn)
The only great difference in relation to Spanish is, exactly, the "bispo".
